PlayStation timed exclusive Forspoken getting pretty meh reviews, including a 6 in IGN and 5 from GameSpot. Xbox not missing much on this one. Demo didn’t do it for me.

Thanks I was able to get my $25 by contacting them in this method. Only took one business day.In case some of you still haven't gotten your $25 in your dell account from the alienware promo, I finally just emailed them directly and told them what was going on and 9 hours later, they put the $25 in my dell account. Here is their email contact@alienwarearena.com
Now to try to get the MS gift card to go through.....
*EDIT* I can't find the gift cards in their search. I was able to google the $20 and $35 cards but when I add to my cart, says nothing is there. I thought Dell was just canceling orders before but now it looks like I can't even order it. I have until the end of April to use the credit so I'm in no rush.

Sounds like I'll be keeping the steelbook and returning the game. IMO it always looked like a pretty tech demo with a story slapped on for retail.

I Feel next few days will be just Forspoken controversy after controversy with no PC review codes sent out and a launch trailer with out of context quotes from websites to make it sound like a great game is making me feel this will be the new Gotham Knights.

Suffering through Gotham Knights right now... the pain is real.
Co-creator of the Mass Effect 3 ending is leaving Bioware. He was one of the few super longtime employees left.

I played a few hours of Jade Empire since I picked it up on sale this last week. Incredibly disappointing to see how great Bioware once was compared to what it is today. Just a shell of its former self. Also, Jade Empire is a fantastic game and worth playing if you somehow missed it.

Does anyone have Breakers Collection and use an arcade stick? I can't get the game to register any of my arcade sticks and was wondering if this was a common problem?
Curious, is the stick plugged in right from the start when you turn the console on with no other controllers turned on? I Remember I had a problem similar to that with the ACA Neo Geo games on XBox and it not recognizing my arcade stick and it wasn't until I realized that for some reason it only recognizes the initial controller that turned on my XBox and not the stick that got plugged in afterwards.

Because I once made a mistake and paid a $100 for a version of Halo Wars 2 to clear the threshold to became a 5 star VIP member for buying so much digital stuff in a year in 2017. One of the old MS programs before it rolled into what MS Rewards is now. By all accounts I think I'm suppose to get only 20 points per $1 spent but for what ever reason I still get 100 points per $1 spent. I just bought the Sega Dreamcast classic Zero Gunner 2 for $9.99 and I got 1000 points so still working in 2023.
It’s legit, your myVIP rank was locked in and still valid. Wish I did the same!

I've actually been thinking about picking up Jade Empire. I was a big fan of KOTOR and Mass Effect back in the day but somehow never played it. I figured it would feel too dated now but if consensus is that it still holds up I might go for it.

I still have the bonus disc for it as well and never played it either. I suffer from decision paralysis when it comes to creating a character in Bioware titles.I own this one the original Xbox and never played it
And most other games.

I just bought it along with Sid Meier's Pirates since I had $6 and some change to burn.

I think I might finally just bite the bullet and buy Biomutant. Thought we might see a $10/$15 black Friday sale but $20 seems like an ok price. With 20% off MS money it come to $16+tax. I played the free weekend and thought it was fun enough. It has been out almost 2 years and very resistant to a deep cut. This is the cheapest on digital so far.

Don’t think it’s been mentioned here but in addition to being part of the Direct Wednesday, the monthly Forza Livestream is going to focus on the FM reboot. Getting exited about the game. Even downloading FM 7 to revisit — all 96 GB of it.

Thanks guys for mentioning Jade Empire on sale. I thought I owned it digital already bud didn’t. Maybe I thought that because it’s on EA Access/Game Pass. I took the tree fiddy I was going to give to the Loch Ness Monster and got Jade Empire so I could continue keeping my sealed copy sealed

I did the same thing and now I am getting 10% back on game purchases for life apparently. I guess we both picked the right time to spend a lot of money on XBox live content.
